Test it tomorrow! Simple ground wire...
Find the correct wire to splice into, run a wire into the cab, connect to switch, run other side to ground. Easy peasy. Warning! Only works in N & P! Only works when vehicle is not moving in N. don't leave it on constantly, made my gauges do some weird stuff...

The torque from a 4.0 will destroy an AX-5. The real engines were bolted up to AX-15s and NV3550s

gonna ask a probably dumb question but it wasnt fully answered before
i cant afford four new tires only 2 at a time currently have 215/75-15
can i run 30s on the rear for like a month (since that is the tire i want to upgrade too i dont see the point in buying new 215s if ill only have them a few months) i dont have 4wd so i dont have to worry about messing that up and im aware that it will probably look stupid as hell even tho i dont know why its just a slightly wider tire from the dimensions ive been able to find

/end probably stupid question (:

Default 2001 Cherokee Voltmeter Issue

I have a 2001 Cherokee that smacked a Jersey Barrier hard and popped both airbags. All fixed up, but when I start the jeep and drive for a mile the voltmeter drops to the bottom (9V) and the check engine light comes on... Any ideas of what is wrong? When I turn off the Jeep the voltmeter starts off reading about 10.8 V.

If you dont have 4x4 you can run any combo.

They are perfectly safe, but I don't blame you if you want the peace of mind

Is the starter coated in oil from a present or previous oil leak?

If so, you can disassemble the starter, spray the parts off with Brake-kleen and reassembble it most likely.

BTW, how's your son?
